Bureaucratic nightmare of medical mismanagement

Bureaucratic nightmare. Wasted over an hour in a phone queue (crawling 10 spots), only to be told to call back in the morning for a callback. Their suggestion to complete an online form after 18:30 is laughable - if I wanted to do that, I wouldn't have called in the first place. This surgery epitomizes administrative hurdles and dehumanization. Joining requires jumping through ridiculous hoops. To register, you must arrive on a specific day, at a specific time. When I showed up on the designated day, the receptionist smugly declared, "We only accept new applications between 9 and 12". My response? "Well, lucky it's 11 o'clock." Apparently, appointments are now accessible only during a narrow window. I wouldn't be shocked if they demanded standing on one leg during a full moon to secure a consultation. Save yourself the hassle and avoid. *FOLLOW UP* Concerned about long-term antibiotic use for acne, I obtained a private blood test revealing potential liver damage. I discontinued the medication; my acne returned, but liver markers normalized. When I discussed this with the doctor, they dismissively ignored my test results and refused further appointments or alternative treatments until I underwent their specific blood test. Their cavalier response? "6 months wasn't long enough on antibiotics... maybe try a year and see how that works?"
